More than 100 colleagues from across our platform recently attended the Bain Capital U.S. Women Investors Conference, a special opportunity for connection and learning from internal and external thought leaders.

It’s Women’s History month, and every day, we’ll be thinking about the women that came before us and drove positive change on the planet. Kamala Harris is making history right now with the Women In the Sustainable Economy (WISE) initiative which is investing more than $1.4 billion globally to boost women’s access to employment, training, leadership roles, and financing in green and blue industries. We can do this! 💪 https://hubs.li/Q02mBMsl0

The investment landscape is undergoing a paradigm shift, says Jacob Bleicher, CFA, creator of the Carson Women’s CEO Strategy. Investors want to harmonize their portfolios with their values, and thematic investing is one powerful way to do that. Both men and women want to champion gender equity through thematic investing. And we wanted to give them an option to do that—not by investing in companies with only one woman on the board, but by investing in only companies with women CEOs. Both because: ⭐ Companies with women CEOs perform better; and ⭐ To inspire a future where there are more female leaders. “I was inspired by my daughter to create the WCEO Strategy,” Jake said. “My goal was to spotlight women in the highest echelons of leadership so that one day, girls will grow up in a world without glass ceilings, or any ceilings, to become the leaders they aspire to be.” Read Jake’s blog post for a deeper dive into our Women’s CEO Fund: https://lnkd.in/g_HrFWFq #InspiringInclusion

This Women's History Month, we're celebrating the achievements of the women in our office. We're reflecting on the progress we’ve made as a company, and we're being incredibly intentional about where we’re heading in the DEI space. Just under 50% of the financial advisors that joined our local Northwestern Mutual – Edina and Minneapolis offices this past year were women – and though we’re working toward increasing that percentage – this was progress and definitely no accident. It’s our commitment to ensure that Northwestern Mutual – Edina is the place that women choose to join, stay, and grow their businesses. Our Chief Strategy Officer, Aditi Javeri Gokhale said it best, “The future of women in finance is not just about a head count; it’s about making a meaningful impact: creating a level playing field where women can shape experiences and drive business outcomes.” If you’re exploring (or thinking about exploring) career options or are interested in a conversation, please watch the attached video, and send me or Haley Hubbard, CPA a direct message! #WomensHistoryMonth2024 #womeninhistory #womeninfinance

Check out these stats about female investors and leaders in our latest post. And I have another one to add: 🤯 Currently, female funded companies receive less than two pennies of every venture capital dollar. Two cents. Does this make sense to you? It's doesn't to me. We've (Regenerative Food Systems Investment ) created an event to support women leading the regenerative food system investment space, I hope you can join us, learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gxsdRHSH #WTF2 #womenleaders #womeninfinance #leadership #genderequity #femaleinvestors #femalefounders #womeninfinance #foodsystemstransformation #foodfinance https://lnkd.in/g9NBYnrn
The basics. Why women? Research shows: ○ Increasing the diversity of leadership teams leads to more and better innovation and improved financial performance. ○ Women led companies and investors have proven to yield strong, if not better, outcomes. ○ Businesses founded by women deliver more than twice as much per dollar invested than those founded by men. ○ Women investors consistently outperform their male counterparts. Why now? The time is ripe to address this, because... 💥 66% of consumer wealth will belong to women in the next decade. 📖 Women now account for more than half (50.7%) of the college-educated labor force in the United States. 🤓 Women now comprise nearly 60% of enrollment in universities and colleges, reports the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center. 🤑 Companies with more than 30% female executives are more likely to outperform companies that lack that representation according to McKinsey. 🤔 Yet Women remain vastly underfunded, lag in leadership role across finance and investment companies, and have significantly lower representation on boards. On November 14-15 in Atlanta we will move the dial to advance women’s leadership in food systems transformation. Register today to join us at Women Transforming Food & Finance ➪ https://lnkd.in/gknnBpVQ ***Register prices increase on Nov 2nd - register now to SAVE** #WTF2 #womenleaders #womeninfinance #leadership #genderequity #femaleinvestors #femalefounders #womeninfinance #foodsystemstransformation #foodfinance

Today, for Women’s History Month, we are highlighting Wendi Halpryn, A|P’s Performance Analyst. Can you share a significant challenge you've overcome in your career that highlights your resilience or pioneering spirit as a woman in your field? How do you believe your journey paves the way for future generations of women in the industry? Completing my MBA in real estate as Summa Cum Laude while working was a monumental challenge and achievement. This journey, rare for women in my field, has already enriched my professional skills and contributions to Atlantic Pacific Companies. My experience demonstrates the value of continued education and self-accountability, aiming to inspire other women to pursue further knowledge for their career advancement. Who is a woman that has significantly influenced or inspired your career path, and how have their achievements or support helped shape your professional journey? My mother, the cornerstone of my personal and professional development, instilled in me the virtues of hard work, perseverance, and resilience. Her support encouraged me to pursue my goals at Atlantic Pacific Companies, teaching me patience and grace in overcoming professional challenges. Her influence is a guiding light, encouraging me to impart similar values to others. Looking ahead, what changes or advancements do you hope to see for women in your industry or field in the next decade, and how do you plan to contribute to that vision? In the next decade, I hope for more advancements for women in real estate, aiming for a more inclusive and diverse industry. At Atlantic Pacific Companies, where diversity and respect are paramount, I feel empowered and equal. I plan to contribute by fostering connections, sharing insights, and encouraging women to join and lead in our field, promoting a culture of empowerment and collaboration.
